The Avengers: Age of Ultron to Partially Film in South Africa

The Avengers have been known to traverse the globe as a superhero team, not restricting themselves as "The Avengers of America" (unless we're talking West Coast Avengers). In addition to shooting in the UK, northern Italy and South Korea, Channel 24 reports that Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron is shooting for 2 weeks in Johannesburg and Gauteng, South Africa.

The Gauteng Film Commission CEO Phindle Mbainujwa commented on the shoot, saying, "We're thrilled that Marvel Studios is bringing a major motion picture project to Johannesburg…We're showing them the very best our region has to offer."
